So i've arrived in Dubai in one piece, albeit a very sweaty one! The flight was ok and thank goodness i made it, there was a crash on the M62 about 400 metres from where we were but luckily we snuck off and went the back way, apparently there were 10 hour hold ups and that would have been serious bad news!

All of the buildings are air-conditioned to about 20 degrees so it can feel a little chilly when you step indoors.

Gold ATM
Is it gold coloured or actual gold? If the latter, how many karats?
